Personally, Flick was less inclined to suspect William Coulter, let alone sacrifice his own life to raise the flag against the group. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Frick could think of a myriad of possibilities for the current situation, but it was equally difficult to logically connect the clues at hand, whether they were logical or counterintuitive. And if we leave aside any information about the overall appearance of the organization, the ciphertext left by Dr. Kurt alone is far from knowing what kind of structure his so-called plan is.

If the sorcerers he encountered at the Gate of the North were enough to illustrate what kind of power the other side had, then William Kurt who dared to resist them was undoubtedly extraordinarily courageous. But whether the man with such guts was a hero or a fanatic, Flick could not be sure.

At least the ciphers he had written before his death mentioned a lot of information about the organization, and his last words warning Frick not to start an all-out war with the enemy would be true. Flick didn't think there was any lie that would cost him his life, not to mention that Dr. Kurt already knew his fate.

According to the news from the intelligence network that Akuli left outside the manor, a lot has happened in the Gate of the North in the past few days, and the work of the garrison has become more and more. Although the garrison claimed that these riots were caused by some outlaws from outside, it was clear that the situation was not so simple.

Traces of the spells had been used on a large scale at the site, but they didn't cause much damage - either the spells had other uses, or a powerful magician had dismantled the spell before the phenomenon could be constructed, allowing the accumulated magic to spread around.

This could have been the work of other groups associated with William Coulter, but it could also have been the group of sorcerers who were continuing to act in order to plan it. Either way, however, the commotion had gradually subsided, and the impact on the Gate of the North was limited to the extent that a few houses were damaged.

Where, then, are the friends and foes now? Frick is not at all sure whether they are still at the Gate of the North, or if they have followed them here and are ready to proceed with their next plans - but there is no doubt that a peaceful life is coming to an end.

Thinking of it, there was a group of obsessed people following them unconsciously, just as the wizards of the same organization had been watching William Coulter's every move at the Gates of the North, and Frick had never been able to shake off the tail.

If the attacking mage had been caught in the encounter at the Mixed Building, some of the difficulties that were now facing could have been solved. However, Flick thought it was difficult, he did not have the strength to capture the enemy alive, and Curt, who came to the rescue, chose to compromise with the enemy in order not to further the damage - at least not by taking a step back from each side.

"If I had to do that, I had to give it my all...... But then there is probably no way to distract you from protecting you. ”

Frick told Curt all about his thoughts, and soon got the answer he expected: "You know, it's not hard to fight each other for your life - or rather, it's a simple job to just kill each other." However, if you are careful not to kill your opponent while looking for an opportunity to capture them, you will definitely need to be more focused than you normally would have to fight. After all, I don't have the strength to unilaterally suppress him, so I have to fight to the death, in case he jumps over the wall and releases all his magic power, the building will be finished. ”

As Curt said, Flick also noticed that his first idea was somewhat unrealistic, perhaps with good intentions, but lacking the conditions to implement it. And even if he really caught that magician, he didn't think that the other party would spit out the truth so easily.

The group was a terrorist group that would execute William Coulter at the slightest disagreement, and Frick had no doubt that they would do the same with their "companions" captured by the enemy. I don't know if that inhuman mage will really kill himself as Curt said in order not to be spiritually destroyed by his former companions. Not to mention the closest they were, the neighborhood would probably be submerged under the rubble.

If someone can make his subordinates fear him more than anything else, then he will be able to gain their loyalty, at least formally. Not only will this terrifying coercion strike fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose them, but those within the organization will also swear allegiance out of fear.

To make matters worse, the sorcerers are now completely underground, presumably preparing to attack Reinster Manor, which shelters Frick and them. If you still want them to surface at this point, then perhaps a bait like Flick needs to go it alone

Undoubtedly, that means active exposure to danger.

Frick thinks that this second idea is probably unwise to the limit in another way compared to the first one that has already missed the opportunity. There is no doubt that this plan must be implemented in such a way as to make him appear as isolated as possible, in order to reduce their vigilance.

In other words, if in order to achieve his intended ends, he must act alone, and the defenders can only be few, and he has not confronted the enemy head-on. As for Curt or Akuli, who have already repelled the local members, their presence is probably already alerted by the enemy.

He doesn't think he's fit to be a "hero", not to mention that the name of this so-called "hero" is still unknown, and he can't even talk about a false name. And if it is for the sake of their own safety, I am afraid that there is no safer option now than to stay in Leinster Manor.

He fell silent for a moment, looking a little confused, unsure of how to find the best answer. He had fully realized his powerlessness when he had been attacked by the enemy, and although it was not unexpected, he did not want to do anything to make his troubles worse.

How much of a story would be involved? Flick had a headache just thinking about it, and despite the initial preparations, he still felt powerless. He even felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his original goal, and he was about to lose his way.

Perhaps he did not lack the power to put his ideas into action, but he was so weak that he did not even have the power to protect himself, and Frick felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the dire state of affairs. They were now facing more enemies than he could handle, so he had to rely on the help of others.

"If you don't have enough strength, find a way to 'borrow' enough power...... Especially at times like these, if there is anyone who will be their enemy, it is our assistant. He muttered to himself as he pondered, "Is there any way to get the other forces involved in this storm?"

Frick couldn't help but think of the knights patrolling around Wodenia, who were apparently guarding something, and even the Leinster carriage would be questioned. Although Akuli's taunts at the time were closer to jokes, if the Imperial Guards could be dispatched, there must be something of equal value in the vicinity.

As he passed the knights watching the station and the road, Frick did only have time to catch a glimpse of them before looking away, but he was sure of a few things - they were keeping an eye on the surrounding area, and most likely were also tasked with guarding Wodenia.

He soon noticed that the knights wandering around Wodenia were all equipped with the highest ranks, and they exuded the air of a professional soldier from top to bottom. To put it bluntly, if they had been allowed to defend Lemongrass at that time, it would probably only take about ten people to solve all the problems.

Their target wouldn't be Frick's party, or probably the Leinster family, and since there weren't any neighbors in the middle of nowhere, it was hard to explain why they were patrolling the neighborhood. If there was anything in the vicinity that they could be wary of, it was that there was something dangerous in the wilderness that Urs Leinster did not know about—it was incredible.

"Mr. Curt, Mr. Urs asked me to invite you over. ”

Just as the two of them were strolling in the white mist, a middle-aged servant suddenly came out of the cold air: "I'm sorry to disturb the two of you's plans, but this is an incident related to the safety of the entire manor, I hope you can rush to his study immediately...... As for Mr. Leonster, I will escort you back to your room. ”

He was much taller than Curt, with heavily honed muscles with bulging scars that looked like they had been carved out of stone. He was probably the most robust man Frick had ever seen since he arrived at the manor, a typical warrior

Frick was sure that he didn't even make a sound before he emerged from the other side of the fog, like a ghost suddenly emerging from the fog. Thankfully, he may not be following Frick and Curt, and he is not their enemy—he doesn't want to fight such a silent enemy anymore.

However, his presence here and his request for Curt to meet Uls Leinster undoubtedly sent them a bad message. If it weren't for the unexpected situation of Sir Leonster, what would be called a "matter of safety to the whole estate" that Curt needed to solve?
